Is Xi Jinping's 'China Dream' beginning to crumble?

The US intelligence community alleges corruption severely hampering China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) readiness, including missiles being filled with water instead of fuel and malfunctioning silo hatches. The PLA is investing too quickly in its missile force, leading to quality problems and corruption. General Charles Flynn believes that China's immediate goal is to seize Taiwan, but China is facing challenges such as international sanctions, fracturing alliances, leadership expertise, and winning the information war. Xi Jinping's purging of officials within the CCP is causing unreliability and hampering the country's direction.
